“What do you mean?”

Su Yan’s heart was extremely unstable. Did Tong Gaoyang see him before? After all, he had no memory of the past one hundred years, which was the most painful part in his heart.

“Stop quibbling! Are you qualified to argue with me?”

Tong Gaoyang sneered. The long knife carried on his shoulder gleamed with chilling light. He grimly said, “His Excellency Tianye has a henchman who can be called my cousin. I’ve heard from my cousin that you made his Excellency very angry. It is unexpected that you should come here. But that’s great. I’ll take you to his Excellency, plus my opportunity this time, I believe my future will be very great...”

“Is that all you know?” Su Yan looked sour now.

“Ha Ha, although I do not know what treasure you’ve stolen from his Excellency, if I hand you to...” Tong Gaoyang said very proudly.

He was just an awoken struggling at the bottom. It would be such a great opportunity if he could impress Tao Tianhua.

“So that’s all you know!” Su Yan roared like a beast, “You are no longer useful to me!”

“Rumbling!”

Su Yan’s weak momentum returned to its strongest state suddenly. He devoured the remaining energy of the Essence Stone and hit the peak. Under the guidance of the Incipient Scripture, Su Yan"s pores were all open, spurting out golden beams of Qi and blood!

“What!”

Tong Gaoyang’s expression altered drastically, extremely astonished and terrified for the energy Su Yan released was almost tangible!

Did he enter the Destiny Spring Realm? But judging from his momentum, Su Yan was far from it.

Just as Tong Gaoyang was unimaginably queer and startled at what he saw, Su Yan broke out to the strongest level. Golden blood and Qi beams shooting from his muscles were like flames surging up to the sky, which then condensed into a blurred ferocious golden beast!

Although the golden beast was somewhat fuzzy, it was full of great power. While extending onrus.h.i.+ng energy waves, it swooped down carrying an unstoppable momentum.

“Martial Arts, he knows Martial Arts!”

Tong Gaoyang was frightened. Martial arts were so precious. Who could afford them? They were at least worth several million Huaxia coins. These were the fighting skills that had been developed over decades by human elites. Legend has it that some Martial Arts unearthed from ancient relics were so precious that even the richest could not afford.

The ferocious golden beast swooped down and rolled up the rubbles from the ground, creating a whistling gale that nearly blew Tong Gaoyang away.

It was mainly because that Su Yan broke out too fast, with all his strength bursting out of his body and evolving into the eagle shape of Form-intention Boxing!

Mastery of the Form-intention Boxing would enable one to exert its strongest power and attack the enemy in the form of various fierce beasts!

Inspired by the various power forms of the Golden-feathered Eagle, Su Yan just hit upon an idea that he could shape his blood and Qi into an eagle. And it really worked!

Of course, all of these came from the help of the Incipient Scripture. Without it, it was impossible to draw forth the power of his Qi and blood.

“d.a.m.n! He has at least 150 horsepower!”

Tong Gaoyang was scared to death. He underestimated Su Yan, thinking that he had just used up his energy. How could he recover so quickly?

“Rumbling!”

The golden eagle came right at Tong Gaoyang and hit him hard. Su Yan was stunned to see that Tong Gaoyao was torn apart immediately even without a chance to scream.

“How can it be!”

What stupefied Su Yan was that he just killed Tong Gaoyang with one single blow! What a powerful Martial Art! It was, of course, also related to his strength.

When Su Yan rushed to Tong Gaoyang’ s dead body, he almost fell to the ground, his forehead oozing cold sweat. He was now extremely weak as the strike exhausted all his strength!

“Fortunately, I took the initiative. Tong Gaoyang must have powerful weapons to deal with the Water & Fire Snake, or else he wouldn’t dare to come here.”

Biting his teeth, Su Yan pulled himself up, and went forward to pick up two heavy knapsacks which were much better than his. These knapsacks were made of beasts’ fur and extremely solid leather.

Su Yan did not rush to check the spoils. Instead, he saw a communicator in the blood. After seeing the words sent by the communicator, Su Yan was shocked that Tong Gaoyang had informed Tao Tianhua’s minions!

Without any delay, Su Yan threw the communicator into the lake, collected three Vermillion Fruits, then dragged the corpses of the Golden-feathered Eagle and the Water & Fire Snake into the snake"s cave. How could he give up the dead bodies of two beast lords?

By now Su Yan had basically no strength left, but he didn’t plan to leave here as the ferocious fight of the two beast lords must have frightened away all low-level beasts, making it perfectly safe here.

“Alas, the Essence Stone has been used up.”

Hunkering in the snake’s cave, Su Yan took out three red fruits, which emanated a smell that immediately drove away some of his weakness.

He grinned. This time he really gained a lot. Maybe it would only take one Vermillion Fruit to get him to the Awakening Peak. He did not forget what Tong Gaoyang had said. Now he possessed 150 horsepower!

But Su Yan had not reached the limit!

“Let me see if there"s anything precious in their knapsacks.”

Su Yan quickly opened the knapsacks, in which there were all kinds of trophies and precious materials of various beasts as well as some bottles.

“Ha Ha, they are medicinal liquids!”

Su Yan was excited. They were high-end products that only pharmacists could make. According to what he knew, the number of pharmacists in Huaxia Alliance was very small. The reason why Tao Tianhua had so much power and influence was that he was also a pharmacist!

“This is Innate Liquid. It is said that one drop of it costs one hundred thousand Huaxia coins. It can help to enhance the speed of awakening, and even greatly benefits the Destiny Spring Realm!”

Su Yan drank off the ten drops of the liquid in the bottle. Anyone who saw this would definitely be shocked by his reckless waste of gain, for something precious like this should be used at the most critical time. But Su Yan didn’t care so much. Now that he had three Vermillion Fruits, some Innate Liquid didn’t matter much to him!

Clearly, Su Yan quickly regained the energy he had lost before with the supplement from the Innate Liquid. In less than an hour, Su Yan recovered to his strongest state, and there was even some remaining energy of the liquid in his body which slightly improved his strength after refining, making him extremely surprised.

It was amazing! With hundreds of drops of the liquid, the speed of practicing would be absolutely unbelievable!

“Oh my goodness, these are great stuff, Bone-nouris.h.i.+ng Liquid and Spirit-refres.h.i.+ng Powder! Bone-nouris.h.i.+ng Liquid can set broken bones, and Spirit-refres.h.i.+ng Powder can heal wounds.”

When Su Yan saw the last bottle, his expression altered. Was it Soul-enchanting Powder?

“This is not an aphrodisiac, is it?”

Su Yan shuddered. Did Tong Gaoyang plan to deal with the Water & Fire Snake with Soul-enchanting Powder?

“No wonder Tong Gaoyang was so cruel that he killed his companions!”

Then Su Yan sighed that the world had changed, and so had human heart. Who did not long to become powerful? Being an overmatch would mean countless wealth and honor!

The only shortcut was to have enough wealth to buy various resources that could improve one’s power. For example, one drop of Innate Liquid would cost one hundred thousand Huaxia coins.

Su Yan began to dissect the two dead beasts. Fortunately, Tong Gaoyang "s dagger was made of high-end alloy, otherwise dissecting would be a problem.

“The materials from these two beast lords can trade for a great many of Huaxia coins. I will buy some weapons and Innate Liquid first. As for Vermillion Fruits, no need to hurriedly eat them now as I do not know how to.”

Musing for a while, Su Yan thought it would be too dangerous and eye-catching to go to the wilderness region with such precious stuff. It’d be much better to exchange them for valuable and helpful treasures so as to better his opportunity in Wilderness NO. 024.

“That’s it. I’ll go to the Underground Chamber of Commerce (UCC)!” Su Yan decided.

As the biggest chamber of commerce in Huxia Alliance, the Underground Chamber of Commerce (UCC) was jointly owned by a dozen top families. Trading here was absolutely safe for guest information was strictly confidential. Anyone who dared to leak out customer information would be hunted down by the whole commerce.

Adventurers in the wilderness region were keen to go to the Underground Chamber of Commerce because they had underground trading base in every region of the wilderness!

Underground Chamber of Commerce, Huaxia College, and Martial Artist a.s.sociation were the most influential forces in Huaxia Alliance. No need to elaborate on the first two, but Martial Artist a.s.sociation was the place where most of the free martial artists gathered. Since it had no specific restrictions, many graduates from higher colleges would choose to join the a.s.sociation.

There were many other forces, but these three were widely known. Among the three, the strongest was Huaxia College where young geniuses gathered.

Su Yan took out the map. Thirty miles to the east, there was a trading base of the UCC. Every base was guarded by some overmatches. There had been beast attacks at the underground bases. However, since UCC dared to construct bases here, they must have means of defense. In general, the base would not be breached.

Finding a place to hide the flesh of the Golden-feathered Eagle and the Water & Fire Snake, Su Yan set off immediately.

Su Yan had left the college more than a month ago. Jia De was so infuriated that he couldn"t help but kick open Su Yan’s dormitory door half a month ago. But Su Yan had disappeared!

Having his future strongly a.s.sociated with Su Yan, Jia De was now extremely mad at Su Yan’s disappearance.

“The mountain treasure has not been found out. Is it still in Wilderness NO. 024? They wouldn’t lie about that.”

Tao Tianhua had no time to deal with Su Yan for now. Having been searching for the trail of the mountain treasure for over a month, he felt that the treasure was still at Base NO. 024, but it must have been taken away by some beast king.

It was hard to deal with the beast king. Even though Tao Tianhua had the ability to kill one, a beast king usually had a high wisdom. And it would be a big trouble should any other beast kings were attracted by the fight. Moreover, Tao Tianhua would never let any other mighty know or share the treasure.

At this point, a tough and robust man came in. He wore a heavy armor with a cold look. Ma Zhoushan, in his thirties, was Tao Tianhua’s most capable henchman, exhibiting an air fierce like a terrible beast.

“There is only one beast king in Wilderness NO. 024, which is also the hardest to deal with, as it is at the point of evolving into a flood dragon. Only your father can compete with it!”

Frowning at these words, Tao Tianhua said, “Now I"m afraid my father can"t afford the time as all the colleges are having exams. He"ll have no time for other things at all.”

“However,” Tao also continued, “how can a beast know the use of the mountain treasure? It is Zu Yan who told me about the treasure.”

“Then we can only wait.” Ma Zhoushan laughed, “One thing is very interesting. That trash, Su Yan, has gone to the Wilderness.”

“He’s in the Wilderness?” Tao Tianhua was in a bit of a daze.

Ma Zhoushan told the whole story, but then frowned, "The communicator was interrupted later. There must be something wrong.”

“Hmm, the Essence Stone is not an ordinary thing. I’m afraid that your cousin may not be able to finish Su Yan!”

Tao Tianhua cursed ferociously, “It is unexpected that this lame duck knows how to refine the Essence Stone. Only killing him can slake my anger. Now that he is courting death in the Wilderness, killing him is way too easy. Now, confirm the place where the communicator disappeared through my internal network and find him no matter what means you use!”

“Okay, give me some time, and I will bring his head here!”

Ma Zhoushan nodded. It would be easy to locate Tong Gaoyang’s communicator given Tao Tianhua’s high status in Huaxia Alliance.

“No, don’t kill him!”

Tao Tianhua sneered, “Su Yan seems to have something to do with the female Shura. Bring him back. I will personally interrogate him!”

There was a ripple of surprise in Ma Zhoushan’s eyes. The female Shura was one of the top ten overmatches in Huaxia Alliance, and also the most mysterious. No one knew what she really looked like. She was the Dean of the Frozen College and had disappeared three years ago.
